Alexander Of Macedon, 356 323 B.C. by Peter Green
A Historical Biography
A rigorous, skeptical portrait of Alexander the Great that traces his ascent from Macedonian prince to conquering monarch, situating his campaigns within the brutal realpolitik of his era. It interrogates ancient sources to separate legend from fact, analyzing strategy, logistics, and governance while confronting the human cost of conquest—massacres, mutinies, and fragile administration. The narrative culminates in the swift disintegration of his empire after his death and weighs his legacy as a brilliant yet deeply flawed strategist whose ambitions reshaped the Hellenistic world.
